 Abstract

The development and quality evaluation of butter cookie enriched with native Bicol Pili (Canarium ovatum) and Sili-Labuyo (Capsicum frutescens) was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments in replications. It was evaluated using the Nine-point Hedonic scale and employed weighted mean and ANOVA treatments to analyse responses of the sample respondents. Such all-purpose flour (2nd class) star margarine/butter, eggs, baking powder were the main ingredients of the formula. Native pili and sili-labuyo were the added functional ingredients in the development of the sample product and therefore evaluated. This experimental research revealed that among the three replicated treatments tested in the study, Treatment 1 is the most preferred cookie by the respondents as resulted in the survey. There were no dislike responses noted from the respondents. The developed cookie possesses a high level of likeness as to color, palatability, texture, aroma, appearance, and overall consumer acceptability. Moreover, the nutritional contents of the product particularly sili-labuyo contained high levels of vitamins and minerals such as iron, copper, potassium, vitamin A, C, and B-6. Thus, it is recommended that this cookie can be developed using the Treatment 1 formula and can be used as functional ingredients in order to meet the nutritional requirements of individuals with special dietary needs.

The PRIs are to be responsible for plan and implement the schemes for economic development and social justice at the grass root. Gram Panchayats need to develop a five-year �Shelf of Projects� which involves the identification, ranking and preparation of projects of development activities. The XIVth Finance Commission of India earmarked Rs. 200,292.2 Cr to the panchayats and necessitates urgent need of empowerment of the gram panchayats to plan and implement the projects to fulfil the basic needs of rural people. It is called Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP). All the 2.5 lakhs Gram Panchayats have to prepare the GPDP pertaining to their local problems, conditions and local resources. But unfortunately, the GPs are facing problems like lack of supporting staff, lack of adequate knowledge, skills for planning, etc. This paper made an attempt to analyse the capacity gap, status of preparation of GPDP. This study is an outcome of field study conducted in five states namely Sikkim, Punjab, Kerala, Maharashtra and Bihar

ABSTRACT Gaon Panchayat for Reviving Indian Agriculture from COVID 19 Pandemic Devastation Dr. Khagen Das Assistant Professor Pub Kamrup College, Assam, India Email: khagendas77@gmail.com Agricultural sector is considered as the backbone of the rural Indian economy, because around 70% of the rural households in India still depend on agricultural sector for their livelihood. It contributes around 18 percent of India�s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provides employment to 50 percent of the country�s workforce. But the occurrence of COVID 19 pandemic has devastated this key sector of rural economic development and brought new challenges. The reverse migration of labourers to the hinterlands, shortage of markets for agricultural products, etc; have created differentiated impact on agriculture across the country. While agricultural operations in the well endowed regions have suffered due to shortage of labour, the remote areas have received an excess supply of labourers. While some areas have suffered from the shortage of supply of food grains, some other areas have made remarkable loss due to lack of demand. It signifies the importance of undertaking of measures strategically for the development of agricultural sector as well as the Indian economy more particularly during post-COVID 19 situation. Recognizing the importance of agriculture and for reviving it, government of India has already announced huge financial package for agriculture and allied sector development. But mere funding from the govt. alone can not revive Indian agriculture. There must be people�s participation in the entire process agricultural policy formulation and implementation in an organized way which is possible only through Gaon Panchayat which is the grass root level organization of the process of democratic decentralization. The responsibility of the development of agriculture and allied sector has already been entrusted to the Gaon Panchayats by the 73rd amendment of the constitution of India. Gaon Panchayats of India can play strategic role in every sphere like labour productivity, marketing, credit, storage, etc. to revive the agriculture sector. In this context, this paper has attempted to throw light on the strategies that may be undertaken by the Gaon Panchayats to revive agricultural sector from COVID 19 pandemic devastation.

 Abstract

In the era of automatic driving technology to maneuver on the far side of the validation stage and into absolute automatic driving, it�s vital to check the security of the automatic driving system [1]. In this paper a completely unique approach of investigating lanes is described. The projected dimension of lanes may be measured exactly by a way of lane detection algorithmic program to find the corresponding position and options of lane markings. Vision systems square measure wide employed in autonomous vehicle systems because of the wealthy info that camera sensors offer of the encircling atmosphere. The proposed system [3] comes with directions obtained throughout human progression of the automobile and uses these to come up with automated labels for learning linguistics primarily based on the path detection model. Alongside, a camera�s correct angle and therefore the path dimension may be non-inheritable by the influential activity. The planned method uses the prediction of a path�s projected dimension and therefore the manner of chase to quicken path detections and to explain positions of path markings on aspects each side adequately one side is obstructed. This drivable path info is crucial significantly in unregulated situations, associated degree is essential for a smart automobile system to create robust driving selections.

 Abstract

Agricultural systems in India face accumulating economic, ecological and societal challenges, raising concerns about their resilience to shocks and stresses. These resilience issues need to be addressed with a focus on changing the old traditional method with new modern technological method. It is said that modern problems require modern solutions, so be it. We define resilience of a farming system as its ability to ensure the provision of the system functions in the face of increasingly complex and accumulating economic, social, environmental and institutional problems, through �Improvise, Adapt, Overcome�. The methodology deploys a mixed-methods approach: quantitative methods, such as statistics, predictions and modelling, which are used to identify underlying patterns, causal explanations and likely contributing factors; while qualitative methods, such as interviews, online videos, participatory approaches and workshops, access experiential and contextual knowledge and provide more nuanced insights.

 Abstract

Kolkata has lost a substantial portion of its green cover due to the tropical super-cyclone Amphan. The green casualty consisted mostly of old trees fully grown with a large canopy. Post Amphan it was found necessary to conduct a qualitative survey about the citizen�s stand on the havoc caused by Amphan, their reasons for the disastrous loss of greenery and their stand on future greening of their city. The policy of �right place, right tree� provides technical support towards intelligent greening of cities. The need for urban forestry is to be planned & integrated and systematic approach to urban tree management should be stressed.
